Message:: [QUOTE="mark_h, post: 218496, member: 3726"]I have a question on this coin <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1801-Large-Cent-VF-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ280100083161QQihZ018QQcategoryZ11947QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1801-Large-Cent-VF-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ280100083161QQihZ018QQcategoryZ11947QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1801-Large-Cent-VF-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ280100083161QQihZ018QQcategoryZ11947QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting</a>.  Has it been treated with something - it just seems so dark, but I am not sure about it.  I have noticed a couple of other coins by this seller and others that look like this.  I see what could be corrosion underneath the surface - not sure if I am describing this correctly.  Just trying to understand what I am seeing - it just doesn't seem right to me.  Am I wrong?  Is this a re-coloring job?[/QUOTE]
